0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Dacast operates as a professional live streaming and online video hosting platform, targeting businesses and content creators who require secure, scalable, and monetizable video streaming solutions. The company offers a comprehensive SaaS model that includes hosting, API access, monetization tools, and 24/7 customer support, positioning itself as a competitive player in the technology and media sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and user experience. From a technical perspective, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor, utilizing modern web technologies such as JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, but there is a lack of publicly available detailed security policies or incident response information. The security posture is generally strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS data and registrant information introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency in security and incident response disclosures. Strategically, Dacast should focus on enhancing its public security documentation, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and improving WHOIS transparency to bolster trust and compliance. These steps will support its market position and reassure customers about its commitment to security and privacy.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Dacast is positioned as a technology and media company specializing in live streaming and video hosting services. Its SaaS business model caters to a broad range of customers including businesses and individual content creators. The platform's key competitive advantages include integrated monetization tools, API access, and 24/7 support, which facilitate customer retention and growth. The company maintains an active social media presence and professional branding, indicating a mature marketing strategy. Revenue streams likely derive from subscription plans and usage-based fees. The absence of detailed company founding information and parent/subsidiary relationships limits deeper business intelligence. Nonetheless, the platform's comprehensive service offering and market presence suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a stable operational footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, indicating adherence to best practices. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, reflecting awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification but does not directly impact the website's technical security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing more detailed security governance information and establishing formal incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Improve WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details to enhance trust.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for privacy management. The use of WebP images indicates optimization efforts for performance. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social media integration. Performance is moderate, suggesting potential for further optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were identified in the provided content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence with opportunities for performance and accessibility enhancements.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
